Bibliography

Our most recent presentation of our work was at the 13th International Congress of Cretan Studies held at Elounda, 5-9 October 2022 (https://www.historical-museum.gr/eng/news/view/2h-egkuklios-ig-dks/2022)

Access to the congress and to the papers presented by hundreds of scholars in Cretan archaeology and history was available to all. Proceedings will be published online by the organisers and will be free to access.

Not all academic publications are free of access, since peer-reviewed publishers usually charge libraries for digital access or printed copies to cover their costs. Researchers do not make money from or sell their publications, which are grant-funded.

You can get free copies of some of our own articles below from our sites on the academia.edu platform (see links below) or by contacting us. The journal article database JSTOR is another useful resource, with up to 100 free online academic articles available per month.
